THE cause of female depravity

Right before I sat down to write this post I watched the most recent episode of “Gossip Girl”. Every time I see that show I am absolutely disgusted at the behavior of the characters, but for some reason, I continue to tune in every week. There is something about their manipulative and conniving behavior that attracts me. Its difficult to admit but part of me even thinks that living this bitchy lifestyle could be pretty entertaining. (Luckily I have been raised with good enough morals to keep me from doing this)

There is no doubt in my mind that if the author of “The Cause of Female Depravity” was to pick a subject from modern times to write about, “Gossip Girl” would surely be it. I know that what the characters are doing on the show is wrong. They betray trust, lie, hurt people, and are extremely materialistic. However, the show idolizes this type of lifestyle and transforms it into something that seems so glamorous. They make underage drinking and relations with members of the opposite sex look completely normal for highschoolers, when in fact they are not only too immature to handle these things, but it is also illegal.

Therefore, I believe the author would consider this show, which convinces its viewers to see this sort of behavior as anything other than wrong and pathetic, to be the cause of female depravity.
